Type-Moon, the Path of a Magician

But in his eyes, it was not so correct.

The so-called king, similar to the leader of the sheep, is actually just a more advanced tool responsible for guiding the flock.

After finishing the task at hand, Xia Yuan walked down from the throne of the Temple of the Sun, which also served as the royal palace of Ur City, and sighed helplessly.

The original intention was to make Quetzalcoatl and the citizens of Ur understand and accept each other, and then let her lead the citizens of Ur to face the impending end of Tiamat together.

But he didn't expect that Quetzal had such a cunning side, and he directly threw the problem of guiding the citizens of Ur City to himself.

Let himself lead the tens of thousands of people in Ur to survive.

But how could he have the talent to become a king?

If the situation did not allow it, he would definitely leave all the population problems of Ur to King Gigi, who was still working overtime in Uruk.

Compared to himself, a fake king who was forced to take the throne by the gods, he is the most qualified king.

It just so happened that the thousands of soldiers in Ur City that were captured by Quetzal from Uruk were also looking forward to returning to the Warcraft front line in Uruk.

It's just not time yet...

"What are you thinking about, Master?"

When Xia Yuan was still thinking about how to deal with the events after Ur City, Quetzal's voice suddenly came to his ears, and he couldn't help but look up.

Sure enough, it was Quetzal who led the soldiers in training and returned.

He remembered that Quetzal had gone out in the morning and was now back at the Temple of the Sun.

This means that he has been busy in the temple for a whole day.

"..."

Although he is not a true king, he is unexpectedly devoted to it.

"Nothing, just formulating the next strategy for Ur City."

As he spoke, Xia Yuan took a bumpy clay slab from the attendant beside him and handed it to Quetzal.

"this is……"

Quetzal read the information recorded on the clay tablet in amazement.

It records many plans for the next step of the city of Ur.

The first step was to allocate a portion of the labor force to restore basic agriculture, then go to the rainforest to catch more edible prey, and use the sunlight from the Temple of the Sun to make emergency jerky that could be preserved for a long time, as a reserve food for the city of Ur, in case of emergency.

By the way, we also need to build a solid defense line in the rain forest to resist monsters and enemies in the future.

The next step was to send an envoy to Uruk to conclude an alliance with Gilgamesh, inform him of the situation in Ur, and offer to contribute when necessary.

It could also help soldiers trapped in Ur who were unable to return to Uruk to deliver letters home.

[Tell Uruk's family on their behalf that his soul did not return to the underworld, but went to a faraway place to continue fighting with a brave man.

Don't worry about them.

I will go back after the war is over, and I believe we will meet again soon.

Humanity will win——】

He also personally visited Ereshkigal, the mistress of the underworld in Mesopotamia, who was also a member of the Three Goddesses Alliance, and persuaded her to work together to protect humanity.

He wanted to lead the city of Ur to survive the upcoming disaster.

Food, weapons, training, foreign aid, all elements are indispensable.

Time is very tight right now and they must complete these plans as quickly as possible.

And the action cannot be too big. If Jingu and Gorgon discover Quetzal's betrayal, the entire city of Ur will fall into the crazy attack of monsters.

The city of Ur is not like Uruk and does not have such a complete and large defense line. If it is attacked by monsters, it will be difficult to survive the terrifying beast tide.

Putting down the clay tablet in his hand and reading the plans made by Xia Yuan, Quetzal couldn't help but frowned, then lowered his head and began to think carefully.

Xia Yuan is right.

Because of the oath of the three goddesses alliance, she could not take the initiative to attack Jingu and the goddess of warcraft who called herself Tiamat.

Once the oath is violated, there will be very serious backlash from the contract.

Even she would pay a serious price.

If the violation is serious, it is very likely that one will die on the spot.

Similarly, Jin Gu and his so-called mother could not take the initiative to step into the territory he occupied and attack him.

However, if they discovered that he had cooperated with Xia Yuan and violated the oath of the three goddesses, they would not have to suffer the punishment of the contract and could directly send monsters to attack the city of Ur.

By then, under the impact of the tide of monsters, the human fire that they had gathered with great difficulty would be destroyed again.

The price is simply too high.

Knowing this well, Quetzalcoatl did not wander around Mesopotamia as usual.

Just stay quietly in the city of Ur, train these recruited human warriors, and protect their safety.

She could also understand why Xia Yuan wanted to join forces with Gilgamesh.

After all, the King of Uruk had the same position as himself, and his goal was to help mankind overcome difficulties, fight against the unprecedented disaster, and preserve the human race.

There were also letters written by Uruk soldiers to their families as guarantee.

Therefore, after learning about his position, Gilgamesh will most likely choose to cooperate with them.

only……

What does the last of these plans, to find the mistress of the underworld, Ereshkigal, mean?

This plan puzzled Quetzal.

Unlike Gilgamesh, who is also the king of mankind, the mistress of the underworld is a complete god, and the most terrifying of all gods, the god of death.

Every time we met through illusions, she looked gloomy and filled with the aura of death, making it difficult for people to approach her.

Although I haven't gotten to know her in depth, but from my first impression, the mistress of the underworld is definitely not a kind goddess. What is she thinking by offering to cooperate with her?

If I just proposed cooperation and she rejected it, it would be fine. But maybe she really chose to cooperate with Jingu and wanted to destroy humanity.

If he really visited Ereshkigal and told her the plan, wouldn't she turn around and tell Kingu about it, causing the subsequent plan to fail and putting Ur City in a desperate situation?

Quetzal began to doubt.

But seeing Xia Yuan looked confident, it seemed that he knew the mistress of the underworld very well.

This made Quetzal very confused.

Is there something I don’t know about this?

Although I really want to believe Xia Yuan's judgment, too many lives are involved in this.

If one thing goes wrong, the plan will collapse and many people will die.

As the current patron saint of the city of Ur, she must stand on the side of God and make comprehensive considerations for her people.

Quetzal frowned slightly and couldn't help asking, "Master, do you know the mistress of the underworld well?"

"You mean Ereshkigal?"

"Yes."

"Although I have met her several times, they were all through the illusion of the Three Goddesses Alliance. As for the goddess of the underworld, I have never actually met her."

"That's it..."

Hearing this, Xia Yuan lowered his head and thought for a while, then shook his head slightly and replied.

"I'm sorry, Quetzal."

"Although I do have a unique understanding of this goddess, I don't know her as well as you think. Like you, we have never met."

"what?"

After receiving such a strange answer, Quetzalcoatl was stunned. He put down the clay tablet in his hand, then lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

I have some insights, but I don’t know him very well, and I’ve never even met him.

What kind of weird answer is this?

How did you know about that goddess? Did Ereshkigal appear in your dreams?

Of course, she didn't know that Xia Yuan's so-called insights were the impressions he got from playing FGO and passing Chapter 7.

The mistress of the underworld, Ereshkigal, is also affectionately called Elei by players.

A native deity of Mesopotamia. The mistress of the underworld, the ruler of death and the dead. Sister of Ishtar. Both are earth goddesses of Mesopotamia. Sister Ishtar is the mistress of the sky, while sister Ereshkigal is the mistress of the underworld. Patron saint of the city of Kusa.

Although there are many bad rumors in the outside world, it is not the case for her herself. She is in the underworld but she pursues light. She is precisely the god who is most unsuitable for the underworld.

Like Quetzalcoatl, he joined the Alliance of Three Goddesses in order to buy time and protect humanity in his own way in secret.

And if you want to defeat Tiamat, this help is indispensable.

Without the existence of the underworld, where Tiamat is trapped and unable to sense any living life, Tiamat would be the Mother Goddess of Creation who is absolutely unkillable.

All the attacks in the world couldn't kill her.

Therefore, if we want to survive this crisis, getting help from Ereshkigal is an essential step.

So he had his reasons for going to the underworld.

He had an understanding of the goddess, and he happened to have a gift that could impress Ereshkigal.

I believe that as long as I explain the reasons to her and appeal to her with reason and emotion, she will be able to succeed.

This kind goddess of the underworld will certainly be willing to lend a helping hand to mankind.

"Anyway, I may have to leave for a while. So I'll leave everyone in Ur City to you, Quetzal."

As he spoke, Xia Yuan turned around, picked up the clay tablet filled with the remaining management plan of the city of Ur from the table, and handed it to Quetzalcoatl.

This was all he could do for the city of Ur.

He himself is not a competent king, and these plans are just outlines of the next actions.

If there are any discrepancies or emergencies, I believe that Quetzal’s wisdom will be able to discover and resolve them.

"You're leaving in person?"

Seeing this scene, Quetzal immediately understood.

Xia Yuan wants to complete these plans personally.

"Yes, I will go to Hades and Uruk in person."

Hearing this, Xia Yuan nodded and explained, "These tasks are not simple. It is very dangerous to walk on the dangerous Mesopotamian plain, so ordinary people are not qualified for these tasks. There are only three people in the entire city of Ur who can carry out these tasks."

"If you go in person, it will definitely arouse Jingu's suspicion. If Dahe goes, he will definitely mess things up because of his personality. So it is most appropriate for me to go in person."

"But now you are..."

"What is it? The King of Ur?"

Xia Yuan smiled and didn't care about this so-called title.

"Since you are the king, you should go. Everyone in Ur City is able to work hard for their families and the world. Can their king only sit here and issue orders?"

"Although this title of king was imposed on me by a capricious god like you, I am now the king who commands the city of Ur, so I must naturally pay the corresponding attention. Completing these two plans is the best gift I can give to the warriors of the city of Ur."

"Really..."

Hearing this, Quetzalcoatl couldn't help but smile and looked at Xia Yuan with a helpless expression.

"You still say that you don't have the talent to be a king. Isn't this a good thing? Whether it's making decisions or taking responsibility and taking action yourself, you are a qualified king."

"Since this is your decision, I will not dissuade you any more. Although I am the god of Ur City, I am also your Servant. I must naturally give the same trust to the decision made by the Master."

and so……

Quetzalcoatl gently put down the clay tablet in his hand, looked at Xia Yuan and said seriously: "Just do it. King of Ur, what you do is what I and the people here expect."

"Thank you for your understanding, Quetzal."

"You're welcome. We are partners after all."

She continued, "I will follow your plans and stay in Ur to prevent any accidents from happening."

"But I have one condition."
